I live in eastern canada and have come across a rare vacuum. I was wondering if anyone here could tell me what it is worth. I have a Elux-o-matic Electrolux Cleaner and Air Purifier Model 83. I have all the attachments and extra bags. The vacuum itself is made of metal and is beige with red trick and manual cord wind-up. Anyone that can help me out, i would be thankful.

Thanks

What you have there is a canadain model witch was made in montreal, The canadain models are rear. Ive got a model 86 looks the exact same but mine has the automatic cord winder, i beleve the 83 was made some were arounf the late 50's early 60's if you have the padded trunk there should be a date stamped on the inside some where.as far as what its worth i would have to see a picture so i copuld see the condishion.

hope that helps some :)

The 83 was the bottom of the line model for the 1957-63 years (If you look at the serial number the first digit will tell you what year eg a 1 would be 1961). The mid range was the 86 and the top of the line was the 88. They were a good machine and lasted well, which is why you still see so many of them around in Canada.

In 1963 bumpers were added to the machines and both the 83 and 86 were replaced by the 86 which was then available with or without a cord reel.
